Norie Huddle: Surveillance State Repeal Act — a Non-Starter as Long as Most Members Work for the Military-Industrial Complex

Aptly named the Surveillance State Repeal Act, the bill, if enacted, would be the single biggest legislative check against the unwarranted government overreach and draconian surveillance of Americans that has transpired subsequent the events of 9/11, while at the same time restoring our civil liberties.

The bill is looked at by congressional watchers as a non-starter, as there are far too many congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle in Congress that have strong interests in the Military/Intelligence Industrial Complex.

Phi Beta Iota: This is a bill that Donald Trump should tweet into being. It will be easier for Trump to sway Congress if he first forces through the Electoral Reform Act to liberate members from their dependency on financing from the military-industrial complex.
